FILM FESTIVAL FILM is a movie shot over a weekend at the Durban International Film Festival, South Africa, in July 2018 by the underground South African collective Medu African Film Ensemble (aka Medu AF). With a sense of mischief and minimal resources pooled together by its contributors, the film tells the story of Fanon (played by Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom star Lindiwe Matshikiza) - a black female filmmaker beset by her demons ten floors up in an ocean-side hotel, gazing out over African shores during the hermetically-sealed weirdness that is the world of a film festival.
This event is part of the "African Screen Worlds: Decolonising Film and Screen Studies" project. This project has received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (grant agreement number 819236). We are grateful to the European Research Council for their support.
Best Kate Taylor-Jones and Lindiwe Dovey.
